Back in May 2015, Behemoth frontman Nergal revealed he was working on a side-project featuring music "not suitable for Behemoth. Very stripped down and simple. The most primitive, acoustic-based stuff." He recently revealed via the Czech Republic rock magazine Spark that he plans to have recording wrapped up in March and is looking at a September release.

Nergal: "It's not metal. It's blues, country and folk. And I'm singing. It's a different approach but very dark."

He recently posted a video online in which he supports the initiative Screw The Cancer. See the video below, and check out the Screw The Cancer website for more info.
